fermi's paradox      
                          
                                          
 on  earth  (the  planet where i  live) a 
 lot of  us  have  antennas on our houses 
 or  balconies,  we   have  built   large 
 antennas  for larger  bandwith, we  have 
      build specialized antennaes for     
    specific wavelengths (and sent them   
 into orbit),  we've built  large as fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've virtually built an antenna with  a 
         dish as large as earth.          
                                          
 we've learned about our  position in the 
      solar system, our solar systems     
 placement   in  the  galaxy,   and   our 
 galaxys placement in  the local cluster, 
 and our local  clusters  place in  the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity and the suns moving  around the 
 center of  the  galaxy at  velocity  and 
 the galaxy  is  moving toward  andromeda 
    and we're both moving anticlockwise   
 around the galaxy. and we as  a  species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and  despite all  this, despite  all our 
   (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar    
 radio programmes  out  in  fucking space 
 at  the  speed  of light  (light is  our 
  medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!), 
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
   filtering, despite our very obvious    
 beaming  of all  our  secrets  in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no      one        has       answered

              so why is that?             
                                          
 most  opponents to  intelligent life  in 
 the universe say  it's  because you need 
 a  class one-or-the-other star  and  the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance away from  the star (like there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but   really  isn't   that  keeping  the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i think everyone agrees that we have  no 
 idea what  we're doing  (and it probably 
                  shows)

 i'm gonna go smoke  my  third  cigarette 
 this year  and try to  snatch some beers 
        from the local beer thing
